Not to worry, Bung. Global temps haven’t risen since 2001 and have even started to drop from 2007. The earth’s temperature does what it’s going to do regardless of anything humans do.
THAT is the real meaning of Al Gore’s 100,000-year chart (even ignoring the fact he has the cause and effect of temperature and CO2 backwards).
If anything is pulled from anyone’s bleeep it’s the unprovable climate models that claim to project climate decades into the future but can’t reproduce known history or predict next month’s weather.
Perhaps you don’t remember the 1970s when the climate experts were predicting the coming ice-age with the same vigor with which they now declare our doom by heat. But in either case, it keeps the grant money flowing.
As for the slanderous word “denier”, you are obviously a denier-denier. So there.
Perhaps the biggest annoyance of global warming is the fact that it takes a potential doomsday plot to get some people to care about the planet. If we spent more time giving people incentive to recycle and produce less waste, and less time worrying about the sky falling, then we’d probably be better off as a society.
I have to side with Pshearer. The problem with both the previous ice age fear and the current global warming fear is that they are trying to extrapolate about 100 years worth of reasonably accurate measurements over a period of thousands of years - it’s just not solid science.
I absolutely agree that we need to clean up the pollution end of things, but I don’t think that man has made an appreciable dent in the global temperature. Fluctuations in the sun’s output, instabilities in the Earth’s spin and orbit have far greater effect.

They’re still suffering from the Little Ice Age, seeing King Fink puts a chill on everything.

Bunge it’s come and gone for ID; or like some crack-pot deniers just pull some statistics out of you butt to suit what you want to believe.

Global warming in the Middle Ages ? I didn’t know that. It just shows one’s never too old to learn new things.

I hadn’t been there either.
